HOW TO PROFIT FROM YOUR FAULTS
by Joseph Tissot
Translated from French and written by Joseph
Tissot, this easy to read book is packed with
spiritual dynamite. The book gives
practical guidance for turning one's
imperfections to one's advantage. Drawing
on the wisdom of St. Francis de Sales and other
great saints, as well as a rich understanding
and broad experience of human nature, Tissot
explains in practical terms:
* the proper balance between patience with
one's faults and desire to improve.
* why self knowledge is vital for one's
spiritual and psychological well-being.
* sorrow: why it should not always be
rejected although it can have evil effects on
the human spirit
* the great fruit that comes from the
realization of one's own shortcomings.
* a hidden cause that makes well-intentioned
people commit faults despite themselves.
* how one should react to slowness of
progress against faults.
* true and false humility: how to distinguish
them.
* why it is so important to avoid
discouragement, and to do nothing in anger or
when agitated.
* the greatest evil that can befall a human
being and how to overcome it.
* why a simple desire for perfection is not
enough to attain it and what else one must do.
* three great evils that can become sources
of great good.
* humility and the real meaning of this much
misunderstood virtue.
* the risks and pitfalls involved in
occupying a position of authority and how to
overcome them.
* the revolution in one's view of the world
that can come from an awareness of one's own
imperfections.
* how to deal with the negative consequences
of one's faults.
Ultimately, Tissot explains, individual
faults can be the occasion either of
self-destruction or salvation. In this book, he
shows how to use them for good.
